Gas processing plant has grand opening in Volney

Volney, NY -- The Linde North America plant in Riverview Business Park in Volney had its grand opening May 5.

The plant processes carbon dioxide produced at the nearby Sunoco ethanol plant and then sells the carbon dioxide to food, beverage and other manufacturers throughout New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania and New England.

The plant actually opened for business last August but held its grand opening this past week. More than 65 workers are employed by Sunoco, Linde and the project’s other on-site partner-suppliers and the plant processes 600 tons of carbon dioxide a day.

Sunoco sends carbon dioxide to the Linde facility by pipeline where they purify and liquefy the gas. This plant is the latest addition to Linde’s network of more than 30 carbon dioxide plants across the United States.

The Linde Group is a leading gases and engineering company with almost 48,000 employees working in more than 100 countries.
